The book covers the
fundamental properties of nonlinear waves, dealing with both theory and
experiment. The aim is to emphasize established tools and introduce new methods
underpinning important new developments in this field, especially as applied to
solid state materials, now including superconductivity.
Minoru Fujimoto is a retired professor from the University of Guelph, Canada, where he conducted research in the field of magnetic resonance studies on structural phase transitions in crystals which has currently been extended to theoretical work with soliton dynamics especially as applied to crystalline condensed matter systems. He is the author of numerous papers and several books including Physics of Classical Electromagnetism and Thermodynamics of Crystalline States (Springer); Introduction to Mathematical Physics of Nonlinear Waves and Solitons in Crystalline Processes (IOP Publishing). He lives in Mississauga, Ontario.
